Official 80-95 928 VIN & Option check request thread - Cannot run VIN checks on 78-79

Highly unlikely at best.
The "S" didn't appear until MY 80. My understanding is that they shut down in late June to retool for the next year. So this is almost certainly a MY 79.
If Rob doesn't have the VIN info, then again, almost certainly a MY 79.
Easy check is the engine number. Euro S have the M28/11 & 12 (11 is five speed 12 is auto).
OTOH, a grey market 79 Euro is a reasonably rare car. But "worth anything once done" is a very iffy proposition. Depends on what it needs and how much time and effort you are willing to put into it.
If you have pics, start a new thread on it. You will get a lot of opinions on it. Some of them might actually be worth listening to.

Ah, that link is some sort of generic vehicle specs site. I think there's a 'lost in translation' issue there- I'm guessing 'model since mid year 1979' is probably referring to the changeover to MY1980 production in late summer. Either that or they're just wrong. 
In any case, if the car 9289102561 you're looking at has an M28.11, then most likely it's a '79 Euro with an M28.11 transplant. Post back with the full engine serial number and we can go from there.

The engine is m28/01 since it's euro manual. Car is worth no more than $1000-1500 at best. $500 1-2 years ago, but now people are asking for the world ($2,500)!
If it doesn't rain/snow too much, I may look at it too.

Ha, thanks, pics and intro will follow once I get it... just made the deal yesterday. Probably won't be able to actually get it for another two months, waiting will kill me! Will bring it home to join my 993 and R8, but am so excited because I have loved the 928 since I was a kid.

The car has a strange engine number. Not M28/11.
I know what he will take for it.
